Hello everyone, I see doubling on most of LIBERTY, especially the "B." There is doubling on the date and more. Please confirm. Have a lovely evening.
There are 2 Doubled die obverse errors but I don't see any of the pick ups from variety vista. varietyvista.com 1976-D DDOs
I apologize, but could you explain a little further? I don't have much experience with coins. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
When you suspect hub doubling you confirm your suspicions by going to the Variety Vista or Wexler websites to find a match. For this coin, it’s been 50 years and 99% of known varieties have been identified. @SensibleSal66 has already provided the VV link for you. I, too, do not see any doubling on your coin. The Mint punched out over 1.66 billion of these, P+D, and it took them 2 years of constant press operation. ALL of them carry the double-date. NO authentic quarters were made with the date of 1975. Yours is AU53 or so with coin wrapper damage on the obverse. Values of any consequence, IMO, start at MS63 for these Bicentennial quarters; your coin will take awhile to begin to appreciate.
A doubled die is not an error, it’s a variety. Unfortunately the doubling on the quarter from the OP is called MD. It is flat and shelf like. Very common and more so with modern coins due to the excessive wear caused by over use at the mints.
I agree with the above, but it could be another type of worthless doubling, die deterioration doubling. Again, the Wexler site will show you all kinds of doublings that aren't doubled die. The "B" looks like it was chinked after into circulation. Look at the rim and you can see a scar from the rim to the inside upper of the "B" https://doubleddie.com/144801.html
When you see doubling on a coin it can be one of several kinds. The valuable one is die doubling where one of the dies slipped while it was being made and some of the design gets reproduced twice (see the 1955 doubled die cent). other kinds of doubling can be from the die in the striking fixture moving slightly during striking (machine doubling) or the way the die wears can make a "kind" of doubling. The true die doubling will show two lines, both of which will be rounded. The other kinds of doubling which is not worth a premium tend to leave doubling that is "flat and shelf-like". Yours appears to be this kind of doubling.
True. But even in the year 2075 this coin will only pull 26 cents which will still be of no consequence. Plus, waiting 50 years means it will lose 5 cents value due to inflation.
